One of my favorite Portuguese white wines. One of the best Vinho Verde, though twice the price of the average Vinho Verde, it is at least 5 times better. #yougetwhatyoupayfor

Serious and more interesting style of Alvarinho, 12 hours of maceration in contact with the grape skin, this fresh wine get more flesh and is more appealing than some Vinho Verde which tend to be light sparkling - a new wave of more modern and creative Vinho Verde producers are on the move and they bring so much original and unique characters, great wine 😉

Vinho Verde Cru! About as good as it gets for me from VV #Portugal, Aromas and flavors of lemons, straw, orange blossom, minerality with clean and ample acidity. #

This is so good! Bracing acidity to balance out the body. It's a case worthy summer wine. No need for NZ Sauv Blanc this summer!

Beutiful aromas of peach, citrus and white flowers, the palate is medium bodied and fresh , good fruit, minerality and a perfect acidity. #portugal #alvarhino #ithinkIfoundanewhousewhite

Skin contact vihno verde? Not bad, but I'm missing the normal crispness a bit.

Premium vinho verde from #Portugal. A fresh bouquet of citrus, peach and white flowers, the palate add the hallmark saline or salty note. The same grape in Spain is Albariño, though for the $ this is fantastic at about $15-20. Should be an insane pairing with shellfish but was an aperitif for us.

Prisvärt friskt fylligt krispigt. Ingen lång eftersmak tyvärr
